Ministry of Agriculture Steadily Advances Safe Fisheries Development to Safeguard Fisheries Production Safety
This website news Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Agriculture has intensified its efforts and adopted effective measures to steadily advance the development of Safe Fisheries.
Make overall arrangements, and ensure emergency response and risk prevention. At the beginning of the year, a national video conference on fisheries production safety was held to convey the instructions of the State Council Work Safety Committee on strengthening production safety work and deploy key work for the year. Strengthen emergency duty, strengthen emergency duty and departmental coordination, and ensure that emergency incidents are handled in a timely, efficient and proper manner. Strengthen guidance and supervision. During the typhoon-prone period in July and August, actively organize efforts to prevent and respond to super typhoons such as “Chan-hom” and “Soudelor”.
Strengthen publicity and education, and raise safety awareness and skill levels. Publicize and implement the new Work Safety Law, organize a series of activities for “Work Safety Month”, and strengthen publicity on fisheries production safety. Carry out emergency drills, strengthen publicity and education for fishermen on foreign-related matters, and raise crew members' safety awareness and skills. Carry out heart-to-heart dialogue activities with fisheries enterprise managers (fishing vessel owners), strengthen enterprises' and vessel owners' safety awareness and responsibility, and further strengthen fishing vessel safety management.
Strengthen supervision and inspection, and ensure responsibility implementation and hidden danger rectification are in place. Organize major inspections of fisheries production safety, and carry out in depth special actions such as the “six crackdowns and six rectifications” campaign against illegal acts and violations and flood-season safety inspections. A total of 8 supervision teams were dispatched to key fishing areas such as Zhejiang and Shandong to carry out fisheries production safety inspections and flood prevention and typhoon resistance supervision, vigorously investigate and rectify hidden dangers, and promote the implementation of regulatory responsibilities.
Strengthen fishing vessel inspection and law enforcement, and investigate fishing vessel safety hidden dangers. Starting in 2014, nationwide law enforcement supervision “three major actions” were carried out targeting the basic data of fishing vessels, the safety and technical conditions of fishing vessels, and the quality conditions of marine products, and comprehensive verification and rectification of fishing vessels was carried out. In 2014, a general survey of basic data was completed for 437,000 fishing vessels, safety risks and hidden dangers were investigated for 310,000 fishing vessels, and 2,587 special inspections were carried out in the special action for quality supervision and rectification of marine products for fishing vessels, with 12,000 counterfeit and fake products investigated and handled. In 2015, the three major actions were remobilized and redeployed, and detailed implementation of measures to advance the actions was carried out.
⟦NL> Promote safe creation, and build a long-term mechanism for fisheries production safety supervision. Organize and carry out the creation activity of “National Safe Fisheries Demonstration Counties” to consolidate the grassroots foundation for fisheries production safety. Implement the newly promulgated Measures for the Administration of Fisheries Crew Members and related supporting provisions, develop and build a national fisheries crew management information system, and improve the scientific and systematic nature of management work.
